Downsville Central School District

The Downsville Lion’s club will be coming to DCS to provide vision screenings. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Health Office. The Lions Clubs in New York State have launched a special program to screen children for vision problems that can lead to Amblyopia, commonly referred to as “lazy eye.” The program focuses on screening children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years. The trained volunteers from your local Lions Club will screen the children’s eyes with either a Welch Allyn vision screener or a Plusoptix screener. What we screen for: The Vision Screeners detect risk factors that may lead to Amblyopia including: Myopia - Nearsightedness Hyperopia - Farsightedness Anisometropia - Unequal refractive power Astigmatism - Irregular eye shape Media Opacity - cataract Strabismus - Eye misalignment The Vision Screeners are approximately 85 - 95% effective in detecting problems that may lead to amblyopia.

The DCS Fitness Center will be open Tuesday 10/20 and Thursday 10/22 from 4:30 to 5:30 this week. Mornings 5:30am-7am Yoga Flow & Tone Wednesday 5:15pm

Downsville Central School is partnering with Weekend Backpack Buddies this school year to offer nutritious food to students every weekend. All students are eligible for the program. Please return the enrollment form to your child’s homeroom teacher (PreK-6) or Ms. Langdon (7-12). The food that is provided will meet established guidelines and will include two items in each of the following categories: protein, grain, dairy and fruit/vegetable. Some of these items will need refrigeration upon arrival home for the weekend. The program is made possible through support and cooperation of numerous local clubs, businesses and organizations. Please note that due to the number of participants, the people packing backpacks are not able to accommodate food allergies. Please reach out to JLangdon@dcseagles.org if you need a new enrollment form. We will start sending backpacks home on September 25, so please return this form ASAP if you would like your child to receive one.

It's NY Thursday tomorrow
